Who was in the car during the accident? Which friend stayed behind and why? What happened to each of the people in the vehicle?* Describe the friends and their relationships. Robert Washington, Andrew Jackson, B.J. Carson, and Tyrone Mills were in the car (Page 2). Gerald Nickelby stayed behind because his dad is strict and he would get in trouble if he didn’t go straight home. He said, “I got to be gettin’ home. And my old man … you know how he is …” (Page 5).
